You're right. Many teachers have even less education than that.

Unlike choke holds, Tazers really do kill people.

That is when the big stimulus spending was implemented. What did you think I was talking about? Also, 88.9 in Winnipeg today.

Who specifically are you calling an expert on chokeholds? Where do they train?

I saw the same video, unlike you, I actually understand what was in it.

It was much closer to resisting than it was to a choke hold.

I cross the border multiple times per year and I've never had to check in with US Customs when returning to Canada. How would that even work? Did they have a road block prior to the crossing?

Correct. In Nov 2008, the CPC had 143 seats. Also, 90.9 at several locations in Winnipeg today.

That was pure PR. NYPD (like virtually all law enforcement departments) still trains chokeholds, and they actually use them more now than they did before the "ban". Subduing a resisting suspect using a chokehold is far safer than just about any other tactic an officer could employ. I realize you simply have no frame of reference for what I'm talking about, but submission grappling is a fast growing sport. People get choked out every day. Kids are choking other kids out, every day. I was choked 7 times on thursday alone. When you actually do it and see it all of the time, you realize that it is not the big danger some people think it is. I see injuries in the sport every day, but I've yet to see any sort of medical problem due to a choke. Pretty much every other form of submission has a significantly higher chance of resulting in a trip to the hospital. They are the safest and most effective grappling technique I know.

Exactly. These loons do not seem to understand that there is always context to everything. A blanket statement that "x" is illegal, is virtually always false, even when they can quote a law that on the surface appears to confirm it. "Choke holds" are NOT illegal. Using a chokehold during the commission of a criminal assault would be. If I run up to a stranger and bear hug them to the ground I also might be charged with assault, but if I say "hugs" are illegal, that would be a false statement.

Yes, most of your posts certainly are.

Not one word of that statement is true.

I'd have to actually see the study before I could refute it. The article conveniently left virtually all relevant information out, including where it was published, if it was peer-reviewed, what the parameters of the study were, etc. I will say this though: Traci Mann is a psychologist, not a metabolic science professional, not a weight loss expert. She's also the one who wrote the laughable paper that claimed that there is no such thing as comfort food.

Garner was not put in a choke hold.

That's very similar to what I'm talking about. Making a blanket statement that punches are illegal would be just as false as saying that choke holds are illegal.

Do you know of any regularly scheduled public events where police attend and witness multiple murders, only to walk away without any arrests?

A lot of people used choke holds that day. Police were not only on hand to witness it, several police officers even participated. No arrests.

You do know why.... it's because he didn't do anything illegal.

I already knew the law. I just posted a video of someone being put in a choke hold. His breathing and blood flow were being deliberately restricted. Why was the assailant not arrested?

Did this person commit an offense? It's in New York. Several police officers were on hand. Unlike what happened to Eric garner, it really is a chokehold.

Choke holds are not illegal.

I have read it. Unlike you though, I actually understand it.

Thank god for that, because your delusional rants are getting really tedious.

No it doesn't.

Thank you for further confirming that you have no idea what you're talking about.
